[ Hey! Other people on the turtle! The screen blinks on and there's a ratty blonde boy. Familiar, no doubt--he's never at one place for too long, and he's constantly running around the city. It's likely you've seen him on the street. ]

S'Gavroche! Gotta question for yas. [ What a nice way to greet people. This had been on his mind, though. Since Cosette mentioned it, and even moreso due to the events on Atam. There's a few bruises and scrapes on his face, but his nose is looking a little purple, swelling. Possibly broken. He seems undeterred at this--or the fact that he's absolutely filthy. Actually, there's pretty much nothing in the house he logged in to the network on--he doesn't really use it at all. ]

Little inquiry, huh? Lil' bit. [ He rolls his shoulders, and for the first time he looks a little anxious. ] Y'know your worlds, yeah? I wanna talk to someone what lives in Earth, an' knows Paris. Gotta bit-- [ Okay, now you're repeating yourself, Gavroche. Try not to look so nervous! You're proud of who you are and what you did.

So, cautiously, the Gamin flashes a smile. ]

The--uh. Around June 6, there was a rebellion, yeah? 'Gainst the King. [ Absentmindedly, he touches his little rosette pin with the colours of the French flag. ]

We--they--overthrew 'im, right? An' did it follow through? Y'got a King in France?

You're Javert's friend!

[dominare]

[ FRIEND. That's the one description of his relationship with Javert he thought he'd never hear ]

More along the lines of associates, but if Javert used that particular descriptor— [ a slight pause of doubt, because he seriously doubts Javert has that much sentimentality ] then I am flattered.

[chiot]

Oh, yep--he did. He says yer the only good friend he's ever had. Kinda sad, really, huh?

[dominare]

[ crying. that certainly wasn't the answer Haytham was expecting, and for a second all he can do is stare. then call BS. ]

Boy, if you truly wanted me to believe your words, you'd best learn how to disguise your animosity in the future.

[ but Haytham sounds amused, because jesus Christ this is actually kind of humorous. ]

Was he the one who beat you?

[chiot]

[ worth a shot. Oh well, Gavroche is just happy with how he managed to slip that joke in, anyway. ] No, that ain't him. Some others on the shore.
